		<description><![CDATA[Anyway, I don&#039;t mean to get on your case.  I just see parallels between El Tiempo in Colombia and Foxnews in my country--right-wing media shaping public opinion....appealing primarily to base primary emotions (eg love of one&#039;s own and outright resentment).  And the slander of Ms. Betancourt is an excellent example of this.  She was much more valuable to the military as a hostage in the jungle--symbolizing the Farc&#039;s irrationality and cruelty.  But now she is a threat to the status quo since even after 7 years of horror she continues to cling to pacifist sentiments and hopes for a peaceful reconciliation of the conflict.  So it&#039;s necessary to smear her at the first opportunity.  And these winger Colombians swallow the propaganda like zombies.

If corporate media poisens the discourse and internationalist social democrats and other liberals cannot stand up and tell the truth about the issues that matter , then maybe sicko groups like the FARC are not all wrong when they talk about &quot;paper&quot; democracies.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ok, you find Ms. Betancourt messianic so you don&#039;t like her personally.  You have a right to your opinion.

Where I&#039;m critical is you repeating that El Tiempo propaganda as if it was a fact.  I&#039;ve read Ms. Betancourt&#039;s account of her experience as well as &quot;Out of Captivity&quot; (from the perspective of the Americans) and I don&#039;t think an honest reader of these books is likely to come to the conclusions El Tiempo tells you to reach.  In these books, Ms. Betancourt is arrogant, sometimes foolish, but consistently heroic.  While I suppose you ahve your own reasons (resentment I guess?) for hating on Ms. Betancourt but you need to be careful regurgitating propaganda.

I mean, there are so few honest politicians in Colombia.  If all the media has to do is come up with some personal slander against them to turn public opinion, then progressive politics is royally fucked.  It&#039;s just frustrating how easily these mofos can distract us from real issues and focus the discourse on bullshit.

So nothing personal, I just find the whole saga depressing.  I hope Ms. Betancourt can find some happiness and put the ordeal behind her.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thank you for your reaction. It&#039;s a while ago I wrote this post, would have to go through it again to react adequately to your comment. I can tell you one thing: am not right-wing who wants to bash everything that&#039;s different, but certainly am not fond of Ingrid Betancourt. After reading her book Rage in my Heart in 2001 I had enough of that lady, who thinks of herself as kind of a Joan of Arc. That was even before the kidnapping, by the way.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I dunno how accurate this post is--I do know that only 1 of the American contractors was actually hating on INgrid.

Personally I&#039;m impressed that the right-wing is so determined to smear Ingrid that the best they can come up with is this weak bullshit.  That tells me that whatever her character flaws here is a woman of rare integrity, in addition to intellect.

Ingrid deserves a better life then she would get trying to reform Columbia.  The woman wants her serenity but the right-wing wants to smear her anyway.   Too bad you aren&#039;t seeing thru it here.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Creo que estamos en desacuerdo sobre la calidad de la comida colombiana. Porque la comida en cualquier tienda de barrio es casi siempre deplorable, igual que los almuerzos ejecutivos. En cuanto la comida holandesa, totalmente de acuerdo. Si no tuvieramos la cantidad de restaurantes y almacenes extranjeros, estarÃ­amos en la olla. Pero soy corresponsal de Colombia, no de Holanda. Tomar el Febo de ejemplo me parece inadecuado. SerÃ­a lo mismo que tomar el Kokoriko o el Palacio de Colestorol acÃ¡ de referencia de la comida colombiana. Mi punto era, me sorprende la pobreza en la oferta, tomando en cuenta que en Colombia crece TODO. La variedad de frutas y verduras es impresionante. En mi artÃ­culo muestro que Betty Kovalski me demuestra que no tengo la razÃ³n. Pero que eso no se ve en la oferta en los restaurantes, etc. Pero que eso estÃ¡ cambiando. Entonces, tambiÃ©n hay que leer bien.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hola, 

Acabo de leer su Nota sobre la comida colombiana en De Groene Amsterdammer (http://www.groene.nl/commentaar/2011-07-26/colombiaans-eten-is-niet-chic) y quisiera decirle que aunque estoy de acuerdo con usted en que la comida colombiana no esta sujeta a una gran mediatizacion, eso que usted dice no es del todo cierto.

Puedo decirle que hay una gran variedad de platos y de procedimientos de cocina (sin contar con los ingredientes que supongo, usted sabe que hay una cantidad tan grande que es dificil de establecer). La comida en Colombia sigue siendo algo bastante arraigado al patrimonio regional, pero eso no quiere decir ni que sea mala, ni que a la gente le de pena comersela. 

En cuanto a la difusion publicitaria de esta comida, o al renombre, Me sorprende que alguien viniendo de los Paises bajos - en donde he tenido la fortuna de pasar muchisimo tiempo de mi vida- ignore que hay platos que han tracendido las fronteras como las llamadas arepas -mal llamadas cornbreads en muchos sitios- o el cafÃ© y los manjares hechos a base de banano. Si lo comparamos con la gastronomia Holandesa, Lamento informarle que su mayor exponente son las maquinas Febo de distribucion de comida rapida pre cocida, parecidas a un distribiuidor de latas de Gaseosa en donde por mas de dos euros recibe un perro caliente que tiene mas Poliester que nutrientes en el. Para nosotros, Conocedores principiantes de la cultura holandesa concluimos que a parte de los pannekoeken, las stroopwaffels el boswandeling y el Jenever no hay gran cosa de la cual Holanda pueda jactarse de un buen comer.

Si quiere mi consejo, cuando alguien vaya a visitarla y quiera llevarle a comer, Opte por la comida de barrio, o por restaurantes de region. No espere encontrar un lugar contaminado por el espiritu Mcdonalds en donde encontrara desde tortuga amazonica hasta langostas guajiras. Y quiero recordarle que no es porque ciertas cosas no sean conocidas, que no son buenas.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hoi Wies, las je artikel in I.S.
Feit wil dat ik gebeld werd door Sander Rietveld die vorig jaar een programma draaide voor Netwerk ivm mensenrechtenschendingen en de export van kolen van Cerrejon en Drummond. 
Hij is op zoek naar vergelijkbare verhalen maar dan met de focus op palmolie industrie. Ik heb eerder wat korte dingen gedaan over Curvarado en mensen die daar vanwege de palmolie industrie van huis en haard werden verdreven. Heb jij hier ook info over ????
Laat even weten,
Groetjes, Rob]]></description>
